    Jon Hicks, a designer in England, really wanted to test out our Workbooks but alas the Design Museum was sold out of them when he tried to get one. We wish they would order more in advance of selling out, as they always sell out. Oh well, keep trying them!

    We’re actually running out of Black ones, with only about 50 left…we have a few more of the other colours left.

    barclayswealth_forblog

    It’s been a year in design and development, so we’re only just a little bit proud that we’ve finally launched the new website for Barclays Wealth Protected Investments. The site features pricing feeds, a back catalogue of their investment products and a much improved design and user experience. Next up a second printed guide to complement the Portfolio Planning Guide we produced for them earlier this year.

  • Every one is blogging these days

    One of our friends in the London design world has started blogging. His views and opinions on financial marketing are always worth hearing, so take a peek and see what he’s got to say.

  • An award winning agency

    It has occurred to us that the new Graphic Clinic site doesn’t have any pictures of those awards we picked up…so there they are. Creative confirmation that when we’re given creative license we’ll produce eye-catching and effective work.

  • Graphic Clinic and WellsMackereth combine to win V&A exhibition

    Working in close partnership with RIBA Architects WellsMackereth, Graphic Clinic have just won a pitch to produce an exhibition at the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. We’ll be working on the project for the next 6-8 months on the exhibition which will then tour the UK. Our involvement will be to create all the graphic elements, signage, and interactive ‘kiosks’. More news on this to follow.

  • D&AD does V&A au naturale

    Following a fire alarm last Friday at the talk I was attending at the V&A by 3 former D&AD presidents, the event was concluded outside on the street, in a rare piece of design street theatre.

    Martin Lambie-Nairn had just given us a wonderful talk on the influence of individuals in massive government projects, inspired by Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s other half), when the event was almost cut short by a fire-alarm. Not to be unheard however, Simon Waterfall and Iain Davidson served up their talks on what inspired them inside the V&A on the steps outside – complete with jobsworth fire marshall saying they weren’t allowed to stand on the steps! He was called a few 4 letter words by the assembled crowd of designers and passers by.

    Truly memorable!

    We’ve recently finished an update to the award commended website for property development Coodham Estate, in leafy Ayrshire. The development of luxury properties south west of Glasgow from Goldrealm.

    We’re working in partnership with other creative agencies (as we regularly do) on this project, with our good friend Mick Dean at Various and Grant Dain, SEO specialist.

  • Assemblyroom joins the blogging world

  • North & East becomes Graphic Clinic

    gc_masthead

    So the time had come, where living in the South and East (and West London) of the UK no longer suited having a name like North & East, so we put our thinking caps on and came up with Graphic Clinic. We think it better says what we do. But don’t worry, we’re not about to bombard you with clichéd lines like “give your brand a health heck” or “visit the design doctors”, all that is just too passe! So, as before, strong design, clean design, effective design. Simple really. Give us a call for your health…..just kidding! (not about the calling us bit though).
